ClubFloyd Transcript:Nautilisia by Ryan VeederAs played on ifMUD on February 24, 2013

The idea behind ClubFloyd
is that each week at a pre-arranged time, a group of
people meet online to cooperatively play a game of
interactive fiction.

Below is a transcript of
Nautilisia written by Ryan Veeder.
Nautilisia was released in 2012.
You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting
the ifWiki.

WARNING!Below you will find a transcript of
people playing this game, and it goes without saying that
the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never
played this game, and think you might like to at some
point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead,
you might want to return to the interactive fiction

#ClubFloyd Discussion

Jacqueline says (to Binder), "Hello."

Binder says (to Jacqeline), "What's so go-- oh, hello."

Jacqueline asks, "Aw, are you not having a good morning?"

Jacqueline hollers, "In 20 minutes ClubFloyd will be playing Nautilisia by Ryan Veeder in the Toyshop. Hope you'll join us."

DavidW arrives, full of fun and funk.

Binder says, "Nothing wrong with me that a pot of coffee can't fix."

Jacqueline says (to Binder), "Well, then I would brew it now, as we begin in 15."

Binder | An homage to the early 1960s sex comedies that starred Rock Hudson and Doris Day. The story follows a best-selling female advice author who has all the answers until a sly journalist playboy starts asking the questions.

Binder says, "I don't see ANYTHING in there about a car chase or a battle royale."

Jacqueline says (to Afterward), "I'm a touch achey and there's the throat, but it could be a lot worse - I'm not stuffed up or coughing or anything, so I'm trying to remember that. Thanks."

Rotonoto says, "Good whatever-time-of-day-it-is."

Binder says, "Morning. It's always Morning."

Afterward says, "During this cold and flu season it is important to drink plenty of fluids, such as Sanka"

Jacqueline says, ";..Binder I'm learning a lot about how you see the world this morning."

Binder does a spit-take.

Rotonoto says, "It's actually morning here. :)"

Jacqueline says, "Here as well."

DavidW says, "Early afternoon for me."

Jacqueline hollers, "We're playing Nautilisia today, and the author has joined us. If you haven't yet played, you should join us as well. Right now. Kthxbai."

Jacqueline says, "So, it is the appointed time."

Roger arrives, full of fun, but no funk.

Jacqueline says, "Welcome, everyone! Looks like a decent little group this morning. Number-wise, at least. Not making any other broad-sweeping judgments."

Binder says (to Jacqueline), "Appreciated."

Emily arrives, full of funk, but no fun.

Jacqueline says, "So, here we go..."

Gunther arrives, full of funk, but no fun.

DavidW asks, "Perhaps a word or two about which game we're playing?"

Rotonoto asks, "I'm out of touch. Where are we in the xyzzy process at the moment?"

* Gunther has joined the channel.

Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load sleepmask nautilisia"

Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd | I know, I know I know, we're gonna be late. But here's the thing: I'm
Floyd | in a coma. Yeah.
Floyd |
Floyd | And my brain has put together this bizarre fantasy world, to try and
Floyd | keep me sane, or protect my fragile psyche from the trauma ofâ¦
Floyd | whatever the coma is about, and I can't wake up until I escape from
Floyd | the dream-world. And that's gonna take a while, because I am really
Floyd | comfortable. I mean in the dream-world and also in the real world,
Floyd | right here.
Floyd |
Floyd | So I don't have a lot of incentive. To wake up, I mean.

DavidW pushes the green 'space' button.

Floyd | So I don't have a lot of incentive. To wake up, I mean.Well, if you're
Floyd | gonna be so stubborn about it, you can come in the dream-world and
Floyd | solve all the extremely symbolic puzzles and "rescue" me from my
Floyd | delusions. I guess it's only fair to let you try.

Dave arrives, full of funk, but no fun.

DavidW pushes the green 'space' button.

Floyd | delusions. I guess it's only fair to let you try.But hold on. I said
Floyd | hold on! Let me think of a name. For the dream-world. It has to be
Floyd | sufficiently fantasy-sounding, but it also has to be obviously
Floyd | symbolic of something. Hmm.

Floyd ] Stately Manor
Floyd |
Floyd | Stately ManorFloyd | Okay, so you start out in this stately manor. It's like stately Wayne
Floyd | manor, in that it's on top of a hill, and it's very expansive and full
Floyd | of expensive things, but there's no labyrinthine cave system
Floyd | underneath it. There's even a big grandfather clock in here, that
Floyd | symbolizes punctuality, but it doesn't tell the time. Because it's a
Floyd | dream!
Floyd |
Floyd | You can go outside by going south. Just because it's a dream doesn't
Floyd | mean there aren't still compass directions. Work with me.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

Jacqueline says, "heehee"

Gunther says, "oh, looks like post-space"

Gunther says, "symbolism!!"

Zach arrives, ready to play with the toys.

Jacqueline says, "Also, I rather love the name 'Nautilisia,' and don't think it's stupid at all."

Rotonoto exclaims, "A prompt!"

DavidW asks, "Wait, this dream world includes the Wayne mansion but _not_ the Batcave?"

Gunther says, "he's comatose, not a speleologist"

Jacqueline says (to DW), "It's the PCs dreamworld. Don't judge."

Binder says, "Maybe Batman moved to LEO and had the Batcave filled up with colorful balls to have the world's best ball pit."

Floyd ] Stately Manor
Floyd |
Floyd | > X CLOCKFloyd |
Floyd | There aren't even any hands! Or numbers! The face of the clock is just
Floyd | a spinning, spiraling shape, and when you look at it you realize that
Floyd | time is meaningless.
Floyd |
Floyd | There's also that chamber underneath the face, where they keep the
Floyd | pendulums.
Floyd |
Floyd | In the big grandfather clock are some zig-zaggy pendulums.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

Rotonoto says, "They don't seem to be functional in the clock, but a zigzag could come in handy elsewhere."

Jacqueline says, "Feel? Nice."

Binder asks, "mechanical smoothless?"

Afterward says (to Floyd), "taste pendulums"

Floyd ] Stately Manor
Floyd |
Floyd | > TASTE PENDULUMSFloyd |
Floyd | Man, how does eating stuff even work in dreams? Can you taste in a
Floyd | dream?
Floyd |
Floyd | This reminds me of that joke about the guy who dreamed he was eating a
Floyd | big marshmallow and when he woke up his pillow was gone. But I don't
Floyd | think there's any actual food items in this dream.
Floyd |
Floyd | Actually, that gives me an idea. Here: You taste the zig-zaggy
Floyd | pendulums, and in accordance with the deranged dream-logic of tastes,
Floyd | the zig-zaggy pendulums taste like bananas.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

DavidW says, "I think we should hold onto them, yeah."

Gunther asks, "FONDLE?"

Jacqueline says (to Rotonoto), "True, I guess."

Binder says, "BANANAS"

DavidW says, "With luck, we can be like Jove and throw them at those we want to smite."

Afterward says, "I'm pretty sure you can feel and taste anything in the game with 99% typo-free results."

DavidW asks, "I assume we ought to go south? Or can we actually explore the manor?"

Gunther says, "we could also be an enraged pigs"

Afterward says (to Floyd), "n"

Floyd ] Stately Manor
Floyd |
Floyd | > N

DavidW says (to Floyd), "take clock"

Floyd |
Floyd | No, you can't go running around the stately manor. I don't have the
Floyd | creative energy to decide what's in there. Just pretend there's a
Floyd | curse or something on the rest of the manor, and the curse is keeping
Floyd | you from going to any rooms other than the one you're in. If you want
Floyd | to leave, you can go south.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

Floyd ] Hill
Floyd |
Floyd | > SFloyd |
Floyd |
Floyd | HillFloyd | As you exit the manor and symbolically shed the shackles of
Floyd | civilization, the sweet summer wind blows like a piccolo song across
Floyd | your weathered brow.
Floyd |
Floyd | So, from up here in front of the stately manor, you can see all the
Floyd | rest of the island, which I don't know if I've mentioned this yet but
Floyd | my dream world has taken the form of an island. To your right, which
Floyd | is west of you if you're facing south, is a thick jungle, with leaves
Floyd | that are deep greens and purples in their colors. It symbolizes the
Floyd | terror and the wonderment of the unknown. But it is impenetrable to
Floyd | you from where you're standing.
Floyd |
Floyd | Down the hill to the southwest is a white sandy beach. I'll tell you
Floyd | what it symbolizes when you get there.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

Gunther says, "> FAFF ABOUT"

Jacqueline says, "Just because you said that again, Gunther, I'm going to tell you that there *are* draculas in this game, and that they SPARKLE. Just to upset YOU, they SPARKLE."

Binder says, "I was using those shackles."

Gunther says (to Jacqueline), "there can be sparkling draculas"

Gunther says, "it's like a male bloody mary"

Binder says, "what"

Binder asks, "Would more coffee make this more or less comprehensible?"

DavidW asks, "Shall we take our weathered brow to the beach for more weathering?"

Gunther says, "time since the author has regretted even coming here: the last 2 minutes."

Jacqueline says, "Sure. Let's find out what it symbolizes."

DavidW says (to Floyd), "sw"

Floyd ] Enchanted Gulf
Floyd |
Floyd | > SWFloyd |
Floyd |
Floyd | Enchanted GulfFloyd | The gulf that this enchanted beach envelops is itself enchanted, or
Floyd | ensorcelled, with a magical glamour which makes
Floyd | everyone who sees it want to just sit around and take a break for once
Floyd | in their lives. It symbolizes taking a break for once in your life.
Floyd | Only you are able to resist this enchantment, because you alone are so
Floyd | incredibly uptight about getting stuff done all the time and being on
Floyd | time for things.
Floyd |
Floyd | Back to the northeast is the hill, and over to the west is that dark,
Floyd | scary jungle.
Floyd |
Floyd | A little ways out into the water is a white ship, pitching and yawing
Floyd | on the restless sea.
Floyd |
Floyd | A Siren is here, sitting and singing on a coral reef.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

Jacqueline says (to Gunther), "haha"

Afterward says, "well I thought the bit about "break curse" was pretty witty"

Floyd |
Floyd | > X SIRENFloyd |
Floyd | A Siren is actually supposed to be a bird-woman, I guess, but I want
Floyd | this sea-maid to be more like a mermaid. From the hips down she is one
Floyd | hundred percent fish, but from the fish up she is one hundred percent
Floyd | woman, with long, streaming hair.
Floyd |
Floyd | And she's singing a song, but it's not like she's gonna hypnotize you
Floyd | or anything. She's not evil. She symbolizes the beauty that can be
Floyd | found in life if you don't take everything so seriously all the time
Floyd |
Floyd | She's wearing a girdle, which is kind of a curvy belt kind of thing.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

Binder says, "This narrator should have done more research for this coma playing session."

DavidW says (to Floyd), "swim"

Floyd ] Ship of Pearl
Floyd |
Floyd | > SWIMFloyd |
Floyd | You paddle out toward the white ship.
Floyd |
Floyd | Ship of PearlFloyd | When you are inside the ship, you realize that it symbolizes
Floyd | loneliness. Specifically, loneliness brought on by being an artist,
Floyd | which all artists suffer from deep inside their souls. This is the
Floyd | ship of pearl, which painters sail into the seas of paint, and which
Floyd | sculptors sail across seas of clay, and of marble, searching for the
Floyd | distant moorages of inspiration. I could keep going, but you don't
Floyd | seem to be as into this as I am so I guess I'll stop.
Floyd |
Floyd | The interior of the ship is lit by a pale, eerie luminescence.
Floyd |
Floyd | It looks like whatever painter or poet who piloted this craft last
Floyd | left their leather trunk in here.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

Afterward says, "The Siren has a bunch of different songs if you care to listen repeatedly."

Gunther says, "including "woop woop! it's da sound of da police""

Jacqueline says, "I really should work with vimes to get the encoding on Floyd right, but I'm pretty sure it will come out find in the transcript."

Rotonoto asks, "Multilingual songs?"

Binder says, "Man if this same ship sails all those seas, it's got to have fierce barnacles."

DavidW says (to Floyd), "x trunk"

Floyd ] Ship of Pearl
Floyd |
Floyd | > X TRUNKFloyd |
Floyd | A large leather trunk, scratched and pitted by the slings and arrows
Floyd | of being lugged all over the place for years and years. It symbolizes
Floyd | mystery. The mysterious initials OWH are inscribed on top.
Floyd |
Floyd | It has a big lock thing on it, but no keyhole: Instead, there's just
Floyd | two depressions in the front, in the shape of the astrological symbol
Floyd | for Aquarius. See? Symbolism.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

Jacqueline says, "Normally I am less keen on this sort of writing, but Ryan's pulling it off really well and I'm rather enjoying this."

Binder says, "Pendulous."

Jacqueline says, "ZIG-ZAGGY"

DavidW says (to Gunther), "heh"

Gunther says, "I love that writing"

Jacqueline says, "Let's get ziggy with it."

DavidW asks, "Who wants the honors?"

Rotonoto says, "Yep. Put pendulums in depressions"

Jacqueline says (to DW), "Go for it."

DavidW says (to Floyd), "put pendulums in depressions"

Floyd ] Ship of Pearl
Floyd |
Floyd | > PUT PENDULUMS IN DEPRESSIONSFloyd |
Floyd | You insert the pendulums into the depressions, and they click into
Floyd | place. The pendulums were the symbol for Aquarius all along, and the
Floyd | symbol was the key to the trunk! You solved the mystery!
Floyd |
Floyd | The trunk opens, revealing a wreathÃ¨d horn.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

Binder asks, "a what horn?"

Afterward says, "UGH"

Afterward says, "wreathed, with, an accent on the e"

Jacqueline says (to Afterward), "Not your fault. Floyd's fault."

DavidW says (to Floyd), "take horn"

Floyd ] Ship of Pearl
Floyd |
Floyd | > TAKE HORNFloyd |
Floyd | You pick up the horn from the trunk; it has a strange weight to it.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

Floyd ] Ship of Pearl
Floyd |
Floyd | > LISTEN TO HORNFloyd |
Floyd | You put your ear up to the wreathÃ¨d horn, and as if by magic you hear
Floyd | the soft sighing of a person in a coma, waiting to be awoken. Or maybe
Floyd | you're just hearing the noise of your own blood vessels, multiplied in
Floyd | the conical natural echo chamber. Since this is a magical dream world,
Floyd | it could be either one.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

Floyd ] Ship of Pearl
Floyd |
Floyd | > X HORNFloyd |
Floyd | It's a huge conical, spiral shell of the type you often find on
Floyd | islands, like in that book I can't remember. Shoot, what was it?
Floyd |
Floyd | It looks like somebody has already drilled a hole in it for you to
Floyd | blow into.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

Floyd ] Ship of Pearl
Floyd |
Floyd | > BLOW HORNFloyd |
Floyd | You start to blow into the horn, but the tremendous sound that emerges
Floyd | is too much for you to handle. It symbolizes the conclusion of the
Floyd | individuation process, which, if attained prematurely, would result in
Floyd | a psychological short-circuit. What I'm saying is, this is not the
Floyd | time or place for unleashing the power of the horn.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

Binder says, "Something symbolic."

Binder exclaims, "We can't handle the toot!"

Gunther says, "i.e. phallic"

DavidW says, "Let's go find Jericho and wake him with it."

Jacqueline says (to Gunther), "Sometimes a horn is just a horn, dude."

Binder says, "Look, just because a lady is lying around with only a corset on doesn't mean she's fair kissing game."

Jacqueline says (to Gunther), "Well, this one time, at band camp-- oh wait, that was a flute."

DavidW says (to Binder), "fine, I'll just kiss the dudes, then."

Binder says (to DavidW), "OK by me."

Rotonoto exclaims, "referencey!"

DavidW says (to Floyd), "swim"

Jacqueline says, "Gosh, I have this horrible poem in my head now. David Wavid, pudding and pie, kissed the dudes and made them cry."

Afterward asks, "is anybody making a map?"

Rotonoto says, "Remove Corset would be more productive, as well as aesthetically pleasing."

Floyd ] Enchanted Gulf
Floyd |
Floyd | > ASK SIREN ABOUT JUNGLEFloyd |
Floyd | She says that she is a fan of the jungle, but can't hang out there as
Floyd | much as she'd like, because her legs are a fish.

Floyd ] Enchanted Gulf
Floyd |
Floyd | > ASK SIREN ABOUT NAUTILISIAFloyd |
Floyd | "You have to understand," explains the Siren, "After you solve all the
Floyd | puzzles, the dream will be over. It's in the nature of dreams, to end.
Floyd | And when the sleeper awakens, Nautilisia will be gone... only the
Floyd | memory of this dream land will exist in the waking world.
Floyd |
Floyd | "But someday, you might recall this island... That memory must be the
Floyd | real Nautilisia."
Floyd |
Floyd | She smiles. "I stole that speech from a video game."

Floyd ] Enchanted Gulf
Floyd |
Floyd | > X CORALFloyd |
Floyd | Coral is super scratchy, you know that? It cuts you open and then the
Floyd | saltwater gets in there and it stings like a mother. This dream coral
Floyd | symbolizes the fundamental painfulness of existence.
Floyd |
Floyd | I guess I don't know why the Siren is sitting on it then.
Floyd |

Floyd |
Floyd | > KISS SIRENFloyd |
Floyd | When you move in for some more action, the Siren does that thing where
Floyd | she pulls her head away at the last moment. So annoying.
Floyd |

Jacqueline says, "Aw."

Jacqueline says, "I thought she would like to go to the jungle."

DavidW says, "anyway, maybe we can find her a dulcimer."

Afterward says, "This Siren is based on a lot of things, including this girl I dated in college"

Jacqueline says, "Seems cruel to say, "Siren, follow me." and the go into the jungle."

Zach says, "Feelings: hurt"

DavidW asks, "I assume our only option is west into the jungle?"

Afterward says, "uh hold on"

Afterward says (to Floyd), "x hair"

Floyd ] Enchanted Gulf
Floyd |
Floyd | > X HAIRFloyd |
Floyd | (the long streaming hair)
Floyd | Her hair is black. Long and black and wet. It's all the more black for
Floyd | its being wet.The strands are all tangled up after a long day of
Floyd | swimming around, though, and she seems a bit frustrated at this.
Floyd |
Floyd | But I can't decide whether her hair should cover up her boobs or not.
Floyd | I mean, maybe it's not very important, but I'm getting hung up on it
Floyd | anyway. For now I'm gonna say it covers up... neither boob.
Floyd |

Floyd ] Jungle
Floyd |
Floyd | > WFloyd |
Floyd |
Floyd | JungleFloyd | I keep forgetting what this jungle is supposed to symbolize. I think
Floyd | it was intrigue. The branches, heavy with purple leaves, lean down
Floyd | toward you in a vaguely threatening way. It's a scary experience, but
Floyd | it's also kind of exciting. That's the fun of being in a coma-induced
Floyd | dream world.
Floyd |
Floyd | A rough path through the vegetation leads from the gulf to the east to
Floyd | a clearing in the northwest.
Floyd |
Floyd | A long vine hangs from the trees, swaying like a snake in front of
Floyd | your face.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

Floyd ] Jungle
Floyd |
Floyd | > CLIMB VINEFloyd |
Floyd | After giving a little resistance, the vine falls to the ground,
Floyd | dislodging something from the branches in the process.
Floyd |
Floyd | When the entire length of the vine has fallen, it turns into a giant
Floyd | green snake, which slithers off into the jungle. That snake symbolizes
Floyd | the horrible things that can happen when you take risks.
Floyd |
Floyd | The thing you dislodged finally hits the ground. It's a shell, a venus
Floyd | comb. That thing could have killed you!
Floyd |
Floyd | You see what happens when you take risks?
Floyd |
Floyd | >

Jacqueline says, "So, Ryan, did you use a dream interpretation book, or did you just pull all of these interpretations out of your... I mean, out of thin air? They're rather good."

DavidW says, "Of course, obviously, for sure."
